  1. “They have a monopoly on the passenger railroad traffic around the country and Amtrak also loses a fortune!!!!”

    Isn’t that because the NE Corridor has to subsidize the trains that are the only means of transportation in the less populated areas?

  2. “the baby boomer generation is taking this nation down,”

    Oh please. I wish I had the time today to explain to you how ridiculous this is but I think the comment posted earlier about Gen-Y speaks volumes.You forget- baby boomers not only had their own share of wars, but they made it possible for you to sit here today and whine about them. We really need to stop pointing fingers at everyone else. It’s getting stoopid.Really really stoopid. Maybe you guys should just go out and round up all the baby boomers and push them off a cliff. Say buhbye to grandma, gramps, mom, dad,, the aunts and uncles. Kick all the Vietnam Vets off too while you’re at it. Really- what a load of crap.

    “They wouldn’t share a water fountain with me and they’re the ‘greatest generation’?”
